THE BARD'S NOT THAT HARD!
Launched in 2011, The Bard’s Not That Hard is the perfect way to introduce, or rediscover, the inspiring world of William Shakespeare. Together we'll explore why his remarkable plays are still being performed 400 years on.
Delivered by theatre professionals, GSC’s practical evening classes are designed to help you discover The Bard in a fun and supportive environment.
"A truly special term, there was a real sense of friendship and community created"
Together, we explore Shakespeare’s great plays through close reading, group discussion and practical exercises in our professional rehearsal room. No experience of Shakespeare or acting necessary and all ages welcome.
This is not an acting class but there will be tea and biscuits!
The Bard's Not That Hard meet on a Tuesday evening, 7pm - 9pm, in the rehearsal room at GSC HQ.
